WTF

For me, the treatments for my MS have taken a more brutal toll on my life over the past decade than the disease itself.  Making this story allowed me to express that pain and voice my fears about the future, things I've been too afraid to express to anyone else.  Miraculously, the support I've found from people I've shared this story with has helped me to find renewed optimism for the future. My heart is full of thanks for the love and support I found at both the 3-day workshop I attended in Berekely (July 2010) and the FIT workshop I attended in Lyons (August 2010).

Hello! I made this video to share my experience dancing with rhematoid arthritis. I made a video a few months ago about why I dance, and many people had questions about my personal story and what it's like to dance with arthritis, so I made this follow-up video. I hope to share it with those who have arthritis, or any other challenge.

Sitting in the pain of a friend's unguarded remark lead to an amazing healing.

This story illustrates my journey from an educational writing injury to a triumphant reclaiming of that writing identity, saved by a journey as a musician.

This is my entry to Donald Miller's Million Miles Short-Film Contest and would be really grateful if you'd check it out.

After year's of trying to change my curly hair, I sat in Marni's Chair and was never the same again.
